Chapter 831: Overnight in the Forbidden City
In a daze, he felt two naked and slippery bodies lying in his arms. Sun Shaozong habitually pulled them into his arms and climbed to the commanding heights.
The dizziness caused by the hangover made his thinking obviously slow down a lot, so much so that after a long time of wandering, some doubts suddenly flashed through his mind .
The two women in his arms were clearly awake, so why didn't anyone get up and make him a bowl of sobering soup or something?
This thought turned over in his mind for a few times, and Sun Shaozong suddenly woke up with a start. He quickly opened his eyes and looked to his side. In the dark night, a pretty yet unfamiliar face immediately came into his sight.
As expected...
Sun Shaozong's gaze moved slightly upwards and he saw the bun on the woman's head. Although it was disheveled, he could still vaguely tell that it was a woman's attire.
Tsk~
I never thought that after escaping a disaster in Prince Beijing's Palace, this "innocent body" would eventually be buried in the Crown Prince's Palace.
Perhaps his mind was not clear enough, Sun Shaojingzong shamelessly labeled himself "innocent", and then tried hard to recall how he had stayed overnight in the East Palace.
I remember that when we first had a drink in the flower hall, although the prince kept urging him to drink, he still remained quite sober.
Why did you end up drinking too much and then blacking out?
Sun Shaozong tried hard to recall for a long time, and suddenly a name popped up in his mind: Prince Yi Zhong!
Ever since he went south to quell the rebellion two years ago, Sun Shaozong's name has not been mentioned for a long time.
After all, when the other party was alive, he had already become a taboo in the court, and later his death was unclear. People may have many speculations in their hearts, but few dared to discuss it.
However, after the prince got half drunk yesterday, he took the initiative to mention Prince Yizhong!
What's even more bizarre is that when talking about Prince Yizhong's past, this guy actually seemed to be flattering and praising him.
At that time, Sun Shaozong didn't know what expression to show him. If he hadn't abducted his uncle's favorite concubine and locked her up in the dungeon and humiliated her repeatedly, how could the tragedy of cutting off the family line have happened?
Now, look what happened. He is actually thinking about Prince Yizhong’s good points again!
Of course, Prince Yoshitada did leave behind a lot of good things.
Although he lost the battle for the throne to his native brother and even lost his life, the changes he had brought about in the government and the public were not completely erased.
To this day, the various "inventions and creations" created by Prince Yi Zhong have already penetrated into the daily life of the people of the Great Zhou.
From the perspective of spreading the technology of later civilizations alone, he can actually be called a time traveler who has fulfilled his mission.
At least he is much more competent than Sun Shaozong.
Of course, this was also because Emperor Guangde had enough breadth of mind and vision. Although he regarded Prince Yi Zhong as his mortal enemy, he still followed the good policies he once presided over.
If he had not been constrained by the retired emperor at the beginning of his reign, there might have been signs of revival earlier.
It's a pity that he has been obsessed with the royal heir and the way of esoteric cultivation recently, and is not as diligent and wise as he was when there were two suns in the sky.
Let’s get back to the story.
When Sun Shaozong first heard the crown prince praising Prince Yi Zhong, he thought he had changed his character. But later he gradually realized that he was not really repenting for what he had done that day, nor was he reminiscing about the good things about Prince Yi Zhong.
This kind of hypocritical behavior was completely due to fear - the prince believed that Prince Yizhong was not dead, but had ascended to heaven in broad daylight and become an immortal.
This guy must have been drunk at that time!
According to the universal values of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, anyone who can become an immortal is a great and glorious person with great merit and perseverance.
By the same logic, wouldn’t the current emperor, who is his enemy, become a villain?
If he hadn't been drunk, how could he have dared to say such disrespectful words to the king and his father?
But Sun Shaozong did not dare to simply regard these words as the prince's drunken talk.
Shortly after Prince Yi Zhong's death, the favored eunuch Dai Quan was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum.
Since then, the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor, and Prince Zhongshun and his son Sanren all began to favor outsiders in the hope of becoming immortals and achieving longevity.
Plus, the prince is now speaking with such conviction...
Could it be that the Great Zhou Dynasty is really going to develop from realism to magical realism?
No!
Even if someone ascends to heaven in broad daylight, it does not necessarily mean that he is a god. It may be some kind of future black technology, or it may be the work of aliens.
While his imagination was running wild, Sun Shaozong even forgot to control his alcohol intake and ended up getting drunk.
When I came to my senses, I was lying on a strange bed with two strange women.
By the way, I shouldn’t have said anything out of line to the prince at that time, right?
Sun Shaozong tried hard to recall, but his head suddenly ached. He subconsciously raised his fist and punched it twice, when a small hand came out from under the quilt and gently pinched his forehead.
Yes~
He forgot that he was pretending to be asleep.
Sun Shaozong sighed inwardly, and suddenly sat up straight. After looking around blankly, he asked in surprise: "Where... is this?"
The breathing on both sides suddenly became heavy, but no one answered his question.
Sun Shaozong looked at the two women , and asked hesitantly: "You... who are you?"
Still no response.
But Sun Shaozong's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness in the room, and he could see their shame and fear in the dim shadows.
It seems that this is their first time doing this kind of business. They are not like those in Shui Rong's mansion, who are called concubines but are actually no different from prostitutes.
This discovery made Sun Shaozong feel inexplicably better.
But the performance must continue.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed: "This...is this the Prince's Mansion?"
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed the clothes on the bedside, and threw them on her body carelessly, saying anxiously: "It's a sin, it's a sin! You two are both maids in the prince's mansion, right? How dare you..."
"Lord Sun."
Suddenly, the woman on the left said quietly, "We sisters are here to serve you at the order of the Crown Prince."
"this……"
Sun Shaozong paused, staring at the woman for a long while, and finally hesitantly lay back down, sighing, "Since it is a gift from Your Highness, as a subject, I can only accept it with shame."
Having said that, he tentatively held the two women in his arms again. He waited for a moment, and seeing that they had no intention of revealing their identities, he felt at ease and did what he wanted.
…
The next morning.
Led by a real palace maid, Sun Shaozong walked out of the small courtyard where he had slept last night. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and subconsciously looked up to the left front. He saw a figure wearing a brocade hat and a sable coat flash by on the balcony of the attic.
That……
She seems to be the Crown Princess?
"Lord Sun, His Highness is waiting in front."
"oh."
As soon as Sun Shaozong stopped, the palace maid in front of him urged him. He didn't have time to think about it. He hurried a few steps and followed the palace maid to the flower hall where they drank yesterday.
Although the prince had two dark circles under his eyes, he looked refreshed. He waved away the palace maid who was leading the way and said with a chuckle, "Did you sleep well last night, my dear?"
Sun Shaozong squeezed out some embarrassment and said evasively: "It's... still pretty solid."
"Ha ha!"
The prince laughed and made a naughty face: "Are you satisfied with those two women?"
"this……"
Sun Shaozong's face was filled with embarrassment, and he faltered, "The maids in your palace were carefully selected, so naturally..."
"Maid? Haha!"
The prince laughed again: "Those two are not just palace maids. They were also rewarded when they were with me in the past."
"What?!"
Sun Shaozong was immediately horrified, fell to his knees with a thud, and said: "I am guilty of death, I am guilty of death!"
The prince looked at his terrified appearance, a smug look flashed across his face, and then he stepped forward to support him, saying with a smile: "My dear, why do you have to do this? You and I are one body, so what do a few women mean to us?"
After a pause, he said meaningfully : "If I can successfully ascend the throne in the future, the beauties in the palace will not be comparable to these two."
What the hell!
Could it be that he was promising that after he ascended the throne as he wished, he could stay overnight in the Forbidden City? !
